Hello. I am a psychotherapist licensed in New York and New Jersey. I have over 25 years of experience and I am trained in EMDR and DBT. I would love to guide you in working through whatever it is that is weighing you down, distracting you, troubling you and getting in the way of fully enjoying your life.

Maybe you don’t feel like yourself and need some help finding a sense of balance in your life. Perhaps you and your partner are not on the same page and you both want help getting back on course. Therapy can help you. Suffering from emotional pain on your own is very difficult. It can feel scary and intimidating reaching out for help. Reaching out to a therapist is an important step towards healing, self-growth, and building resiliency. You have internal strengths such as wisdom and motivation. You are making a great choice looking for someone who can help you mobilize these strengths.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative thinking that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I specialize in grief and life transitions.

I'm glad you've found yourself here. Acknowledging that you need support right now is a tough but necessary first step. Life and relationships can be complex and I find that it is often helpful have a neutral person to offer a listening ear, guidance, and to facilitate a process of gaining more insight about who you are and what you need. My role would be to help you work towards your goals, which may include building self-compassion, identifying and regulating uncomfortable emotions, processing old traumas, changing negative thoughts and patterns, overcoming challenges, strengthening relationships, implementing new coping skills.

Welcome! Whether this is your first time searching for a therapist or you are continuing your therapy journey I commend you for making the most powerful commitment to YOU towards healing, growth and self-care! I am truly committed to working with you to identify and create your unique therapy plan to work towards self-awareness, self-love, self-compassion and your desired goals. Meeting you where you are in your life and listening with true empathy is of the utmost importance to me. This allows for the development of trust and safety in our therapeutic alliance and paves the way for you to Love and Accept your true Authentic Self.

Transitions are difficult and overwhelming at any age. You feel stuck, and unable to think clearly. Many days you are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood swings, and irritability. Past traumas and the heavy weight of life are being triggered and getting in the way of your best self. Picture what it would look like to have a more positive, and stress-free life where you can move forward. I work with children and adults through issues that are causing anger, mood swings and problems with friends and relationships.

Life can be very challenging at times and our usual way of managing doesn't work as effectively as it used to. Our coping skills aren't helping us to feel a sense of control and well-being and we end up feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, we can't sleep well, we under eat or overeat, experience mood changes and possible difficulties managing work, relationships and home life. I am committed to helping you understand what you are going through, developing strategies to make changes, assisting you with stress reduction so that you feel more comfortable within yourself and your life.

Using this background I will build a non-judgmental and accepting, therapeutic relationship as the core basis of our therapy. My approach is client-driven and addresses the needs and goals of each individual. I listen carefully but am also active and interactive.

My work includes a vast array of modalities and I have extensive experience working with people who suffer with a history of; Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse, Marital Problems and Domestic Violence.

It can be hard to find the right therapist, and, once you do, it can be difficult to articulate your needs in a session.

Together we will work to create an atmosphere, where you can openly express yourself and become the best authentic version of yourself.
